A Method for Prayer: Freedom in the Face of God

Edited by Ligon Duncan. True prayer comes from the heart, so why do we need a method? The great devotional commentator and pastor shows here that Christians benefit from discipline just as much as talking freely with God. You will discover the methods Jesus taught, look at styles of prayer, and see helpful examples. Duncan has incorporated some of Henry's other work on prayer.

Endorsements

When a tool that has helped teach Christians to pray with biblical fidelity and spiritual integrity, across a span of three centuries, is being distributed again and in fresh ways, thoughtful believers can only applaud and give thanks to God for the grace that has brought forth this fruit.

The great and nearly unique benefit of Henry's Method for Prayer is that it flows so directly from the biblical text. His approach enables the believer not only to read the Bible and study the Bible, but also to pray the Bible

If I were to recommend one book for those who are to lead in public prayer, this would be it. Can we pray 'according to Scripture'? Two hundred astonishing pages into Matthew Henry's A Method for Prayer and you will realize the answer is an emphatic YES! Henry's Method, which is really just traditional Protestant public prayer, will revolutionize the prayer life of any individual or congregation that studies it.
